How good would Stafford have been if he was with someone like McVay his entire career? I look at him totally differently now and that’s a mis-evaluation of his earlier career on my part. He is an absolute stud.

I think he's going to the HoF, and he can thank McVay for that. It's likely now, but a certainty if he wins another SB.

He's better than he was, but yeah, DET was pretty consistently poorly run during his time there and he should have had more playoff chances

I deleted a post I was writing but now that you said it.; do we just not know the rule? Feel like I have seen much milder hits to the head called.
What I want to know, was that reversed by the refs on the field or by Replay Assist. The whole system is so muddy.

I thought on replay he grabbed shoulder maybe neck, you can see the shoulderpad come up which usually means the guy's hand was on or inside the sleeve.
But he slams the facemask. It should have been forcible contact to the head.

I need to know how many teams have held the ball for 20+ minutes in a half and did not score.
I can tell you no team has ever had 40+ while being shutout for a full game, of course not quite your request. From there? Only two teams have 35+ minutes, both Raiders squads: 1986 at 35:57 losing 37-0 in Seatle, and then they did so in 2014 at 36:56, dropping 52-0 in St. Louis.

The 718
Flacco throws a pick, then on the very next play, Darnold throws a pick. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that???

Why wasn't the game clock reset to 44 seconds? Too Many Men is a deadball foul on the defense, yet two seconds elapsed from snap to otherwise unnecessary and ultimately dead incomplete pass. I'd be a bit irate if I'm Indy.

This TB offense is fun to watch even without its stars. These play calls are groovy.
